THE VENUE
Housed inside a converted church hall, BOWERY provides the perfect backdrop to create a unique and memorable event.
We can accommodate groups of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to larger crowds – with exceptional attention to detail - served in a relaxed environment.
We have a choice of beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces – including the atmospheric dining hall or our leafy garden courtyard.
Delicious food and drink options allow us to tailor a package to your specific needs. Our long tables suit share-style dining, or you can opt for a traditional sit-down meal, or canapé menu.
Located in heart of the Blue Mountains, close to transport and many nearby accommodation options, BOWERY provides a one-of-a-kind setting for your next special occasion.
We can cater for weddings, parties, conferences, corporate events + more!
MENU
At BOWERY we love to share. Our share plate-style menu is perfect for long banquet style tables, where your guests pass the plates around the table and enjoy the variety available.
This style of dining is a bit less formal than the traditional formal sit down alternate drop menu, and allows guests to sample multiple dishes and choose their own portion sizes.
Think long lunches, long tables, great food and great atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the pleasure of sharing a meal together – like a family, intimate and interactive.
Our share-style menu offers a wide choice of dishes with something sure to suit all tastes.
Alternatively, you may opt for a traditional 3-course menu, or canapé style menu.
